Transportation & Public Works

Mobility and pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods are important to the residents of Fort Worth. The Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW) meets these challenges by maintaining:

7,000 lane miles of street surface

700 miles of sidewalks

500 miles of storm water channels

600 traffic signals

17,000 street lights

200 rail crossings

20,000 storm drains/inlets

As important are future roadways and current performance conditions of the roadway system. Staff routinely analyzes and recommends transit and roadway projects that will reduce congestion, improve air-quality and move traffic.
